I agree overall, but the season series really meant nothing. All 4 games occurred before the Cavs traded away half their team.

Actually I believe the Lewandowski rumor came from much earlier reporting during the campaign - at one point there was a small fracas where the two of them were screaming at each other within earshot of the media.

yeah, but prime Shaq.

Er... they won 19 of 21 games feasting on a soft portion in their schedule. This team didn’t suddenly fix their serious holes in roster construction in the month of December; they were a bad defensive team in October, and they’ll be a bad defensive team come April, barring any serious personnel changes.

Good job, liberal weight-truthers, you’ve started the Girther Movement.

If it makes you feel better, it’s the same interpretation I’ve heard making the rounds, lately, by a lot of political analysts looking back. It’s a sad fucking irony to realize that the same FBI that Trump now blasts as being against him/for Hilary is the one filled with agents that were foaming at the mouth at the…

Agreed! Which is why I ultimately come down on the same side that you’re on.

Angela Merkel’s fairly conservative, all things being equal (I believe she voted against same-sex marriage...), but she’s still a badass who stands up to both Trump and Putin, on the regular.

I feel like you would really enjoy S2 onwards.

I guess if I was a dumb NBA owner looking purely at the W-L record, I would agree (which, you’re probably right, is all that matters).

Is that even true, though? His GM record is spotty at best - sure, he made the Butler trade and signed Gibson, but he also failed to assemble a bench and threw a fuckton of money at the decrepit bones of Jamal Crawford.

I mean, I could be misremembering, but my thought process is this:

Beasley play was different - it gets back to the catch rule. Beasley hadn’t technically “caught” the ball (established possession, two steps, etc) when he grabbed it out of the air, so the forward progress of the ball didn’t count until he’d stepped down on the field.

I’ll do you one better - I briefly lived on the same floor as her in college and let me tell you, given how shitfaced she is reported to have been, I’m half surprised she wasn’t booked for indecent exposure.

As someone who works in the auto industry, I can for sure tell you that Elaine Chao is not qualified to be the Transportation Secretary, given the serious concerns being raised by the industry at this juncture in time.

Right? I get the LaVar hate, but sure, let’s overreact to one poor showing from the 19-year-old kid who consistently demonstrated the ability to elevate his teammates’ performances in college while on a Steve Alford-coached team.

This is ridiculous. If you told Pop at the start of the game he could either play Leonard or start with a 25 point lead, he would have taken the latter.

I’ve been reading Lowe for years, and he’s referenced Woj only to credit him on breaking news. Pretty sure Lowe’s skillset doesn’t overlap with Woj’s in the way that Stein’s does, and he hasn’t seemed to publicly criticize Woj in the way a reporter like Sherwood Strauss has.

It’s also not clear that “more options/routes for travel” is entirely necessary to solve the problem, a la Braess’ Paradox..

Perhaps if Mon-El is trashed, Lena Luthor will finally achieve her dream of being with Kara. I swear, it seems like she’s eye-fucking the shit out of Kara in every scene they share together.
